Great and cheap cap

After we removed a still working non-marine cassette player from our newly purchased 79ft 24 Skipjack, it has only had this cap to keep it covered all these years protection. It was easy to buy the same case to protect the new Bluetooth receiver and I opted for a non-marine deck. Should last for years given the previous cassette deck from 20 years ago. It has protected him perfectly all these years.

Pros
  • Great overall specs
Cons
  • Slightly torn

does his job. fits car stereos

The old stereo cover on my boat came loose and wouldn't stay in place when towed, so I found this great little cover to replace. Installation was fairly easy as the replacement was exactly the same size as the original. As I work to fix many small issues I have found that many boat accessories are one size fits all, which is great. Of course, before you just order the parts, you need to make sure they fit.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Contact Seller

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE GARBAGE!

UPDATE: The device is officially completely broken which is a disappointment. I accept and welcome the opportunity for the sellers to fix this. OLD REVIEW: I bought this product less than a month ago, there was a small piece of plastic broken with the unit, I didn't know if it broke off the unit or it was just part of the shipping, found out later on the other side the hinge area is also broken, just another day. I have opened and closed the stereo block no more than 10 times. This piece ofโ€ฆ

The door doesn't hold, the spring is weak.

I wanted to install it on my boat with a new stereo. The cover came quickly as always. The cover looks great and includes everything you need to install. Unfortunately, the door doesn't stay open until the end. In fact, it only opens a little on its own. It seems that the spring used to hold the door open isn't strong enough to hold it open. The lid looks new, so this is a design flaw. The problem is that you have to use two hands to operate the radio, which is not ideal, especially when I'm on

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Big and bulky

It's waterproof, that's all

As everyone complains, this thing doesn't stay open on its own! I've had this cover on my other boats, none of them had this problem. Accessing the radio is just a torture, you have to hold the door open with one hand and operate it with the other. Soon you'll be good enough to open the door and operate it with one hand, but it's still just dumb. At least it protects the stereo from water, which is a good thing. I've searched but haven't found a way to modify the spring inside to stay open. Ifโ€ฆ

Not spring loaded to open!

Nice looking waterproof stereo case that is true to size. The lid should spring open. No, that is not so! You can see the springs through the plastic, but they don't do anything. I tried to contact PYLE directly on the number provided by Revane. The support person speaks broken English. It's not really a problem until they hang up. Maybe their phone system sucks, but it's very frustrating. Ordered a replacement from Revain and sent the first one back. The second barely opens when you clickโ€ฆ

  • Rugged finish

  • Slim

Quality as expected for the money - Poor

You get what you pay for (cheap). He was working on my Premier 225 Legend Pontoon boat so the quality was there. The OEM receiver on the boat died and was too small (Premier cut the hole too wide). The DIN1 Marine Kenwood I bought fell out of the cutout. This item combined with the Millenia Mil Plate3 mounting plate filled in the cutout so I could mount the receiver. I had to drill a few holes but everything is fine. It sticks out about 3/4 inch more from the dash and it was really difficult to

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some minor issues

the lid does not stay open; Tried 2 of them

The product arrived on time. It appears to be well built out of heavy plastic. I haven't had a chance to install it for the following reason: as some others have pointed out, the lid doesn't stay open more than 30%. The springs seem too weak. I spoke to a rep from Pyle (the company whose name is on the product but I suspect it's made in China) to see if there was a way to adjust the spring tension. and he said no. I am sending it back and asking for a replacement. If the replacement works wellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Spring-loaded hinged door, no. Oh, and it appears to be in use.

"Spring-Loaded Hinged Door" raises the lid about 1/2 inch (see photo). What I can't say is because it's defective or because it's been used or both. Looking at the picture on the box it looks like there should have been a center piece inside the hole. There was none. The edges around the hole were jagged, as if someone had carved the center piece with an X-Acto knife. They did a good job, but it's pretty clear it's been cut. It also looked like the box had either been sealed or resealed, with a

Pros
  • Hands-Free Operation
Cons
  • Very Expensive
